  • از شکاف در بدید آن حال را  ** بس عجب آمد از آن آن زال را 
  • Through a crack in the door she saw what was going on: the old woman marvelled greatly thereat.
  • خر همی‌گاید کنیزک را چنان  ** که به عقل و رسم مردان با زنان  1345
  • (Vidit) asinum futuentem ancillam sicut viri ratione et more (concumbunt) cum feminis. [(She saw) the ass copulating with the maidservant in the manner that men reasonably and customarily (do) with women.]
  • در حسد شد گفت چون این ممکنست  ** پس نم اولیتر که خر ملک منست 
  • She became envious and said, “Since this is possible, then I have the best right, for the ass is my property.
  • خر مهذب گشته و آموخته  ** خوان نهادست و چراغ افروخته 
  • The ass has been perfectly trained and instructed: the table is laid and the lamp is lighted.”
  • کرد نادیده و در خانه بکوفت  ** کای کنیزک چند خواهی خانه روفت 
  • Feigning to have seen nothing, she knocked at the door of the room (stable), saying, “How long will you be sweeping the room, O maid?”
  • از پی روپوش می‌گفت این سخن  ** کای کنیزک آمدم در باز کن 
  • She spoke these words as a blind (and added), “I have come, O maid: open the door.”
  • کرد خاموش و کنیزک را نگفت  ** راز را از بهر طمع خود نهفت  1350
  • (Then) she became silent and said no more to the maid: she concealed the secret for the sake of her own desire.
  • پس کنیزک جمله آلات فساد  ** کرد پنهان پیش شد در را گشاد 
  • Thereupon the maid hid all the apparatus of iniquity and came forward and opened the door.
  • رو ترش کرد و دو دیده پر ز نم  ** لب فرو مالید یعنی صایمم 
  • She made her face sour and her eyes full of moisture (tears) and rubbed her lips (against each other), meaning to say, “I am fasting.”
  • در کف او نرمه جاروبی که من  ** خانه را می‌روفتم بهر عطن 
  • In her hand was a soft broom, as though to say, “I was sweeping the room in order to clean it.”
